Product Summary

The MAX211ECAI line driver/receiver is designed for RS-232 and V.28 communications in harsh environments. Each transmitter output and receiver input is protected against ±15kV electrostatic discharge (ESD) shocks, without latchup. The various combinations of features are outlined in the Selection Guide. The drivers and receivers for the MAX211ECAI meet all EIA/TIA-232E and CCITT V.28 specifications at data rates up to 120kbps, when loaded in accordance with the EIA/TIA-232E specification. The MAX211ECAI is available in 28-pin SO packages, as well as a 28-pin SSOP that uses 60% less board space.
